Supreme Court: USPS can't be sued?

 Really? Beyond the AP story about this inanity, I had already read the NNA's reaction shortly after it was announced.

The ruling clearly contradicts the federal law that said "Yes it can." And, given that the majoritarian 5 all agreed to the "Trump gets out of jail for free" rulings of a couple of years ago, invites a variety of further snarking at these 5 as well as snarking about Gorsuch not getting a memo.

Beyond its potential effect on the newspaper business, there's the fact that:

1. SCOTUS apparently simply ignored the racial background claims of the plaintiff, and

2. That this surely has some spillover chance of further cratering postal service.
